Abandoned Shopping Trolleys
Coles Supermarkets have introduced a shopping trolley action plan to address the issue of abandoned trolleys across the City's district. To report any Coles or Wesfarmers abandoned trolleys please use the free call number 1800 876 553. You can also use the email address 1800TROLLEY@coles.com.au.

To report abandoned trolleys from any other stores please ring the City on 9405 5000 during business hours or 1300 138393 and Rangers will respond.
If you are aware of illegal dumping of rubble or rubbish, contact Ranger Services. Our Rangers will investigate requests relating to these matters, and this may result in the offenders being issued with an infringement notice or prosecution. Vehicle registration numbers of offenders should be recorded where possible as this will assist in investigations.

Community interest signs, such as sport signs and school fetes etc may be permitted by obtaining written approval from the City's Infrastructure Planning Department. Any signs located by Rangers may be seized and the owner prosecuted. Impounded signs may be recovered from the City by contacting Ranger Services to arrange pickup. A fee of $50 per impounded sign applies.
